EleGARD™ Patient Positioning System

Precisely Position Patients to Support the ElevatedCPR™ Method

The EleGARD™ Patient Positioning System is intended to assist in elevating the head and the thorax of a patient from a supine position into a multi-level elevated position with the head above the thorax and the thorax above the lower body and extremities, and may be used during airway management; during manual CPR, manual CPR adjuncts, CPR with the LUCAS® Chest Compression System; and patient transport.

The EleGARD System is the only device designed to precisely and consistently position patients to support the practice of the ElevatedCPR™ method.

The ElevatedCPR method is a technologically-advanced technique for performing device-assisted head up CPR that incorporates raising the head, heart, and thorax in a multi-level elevation, in a timed sequence, in conjunction with best practice resuscitation protocols. Preclinical studies show the addition of the EleGARD System to the existing use of an Impedance Threshold Device (ITD) and Active Compression Decompression CPR (ACD-CPR) or mechanical CPR has the potential to:

  • Reduce intracranial pressure1245
  • Improve cerebral perfusion pressure1245
  • Improve coronary perfusion pressure136

while maintaining aortic pressure compared to conventional CPR or Manual CPR Adjuncts+ITD CPR.1234
